Student Testimonials
“…I wanted to let you know that an amazing amount of the things I studied I was able to remember and connect with an experience I had during the internship and with one of the many, many different sites and dietitians I shadowed and worked with. That is the point of a good internship, so I think it accomplished what it set out to do...at least for me!”
“I was very happy that the opportunities I wanted to have were arranged for me…Networking with preceptors, at meetings – getting to know all opportunities in the field.”
“I definitely think the variety of experiences provided really make the internship. You get a chance to try everything and anything you really are interested in or just need some experience in it. It also helped me discover what I feel my true passion is and where I fit into the field of dietetics.”
“I loved the community-prevention aspect and the MNT part especially once I was left on my own.”
“I felt prepared to enter the work world and perform at a high level.”
“It was a great learning experience at each rotation. I liked getting a choice of some of the experiences, so it can be personalized to each intern. I loved watching surgeries/procedures at the VA (i.e. CABG, coronary angio, VFSS, stress test). It makes so much more sense to read about in a chart when you have watched the procedure.”
“I developed tremendously as a professional and acquired knowledge and skills I would not have gained elsewhere.”
“This program pushes you to do your best. A lot of hard work but feel very satisfied I completed it.”
